Pitched and hipped slate roofs with overhanging eaves. Carved limestone diagonally placed chimneystacks and replacement uPVC rainwater goods.

Single and double-light pointed arch timber-framed casement windows with arcaded timber tracery. Replacement timber casement windows to rear elevation.

Appraisal
A picturesque gate lodge which is a delightful roadside addition, set opposite the entrance to Killinardrish House. Although extended and modernised, the key historic elements survive intact, most notably, the fine windows, door, chimneystacks and label mouldings. Its Tudor Revival style contrasts with the classically inspired main house.
